The MODERN frame is of a unique construction called seamless.  First, a panel of ¼” thick MDF  (a composite wood board) has the center cut out
to create the 1" face of the frame. Since the  frame has not been made from cut and joined  lengths of molding, there are no joints at the  corners.  Next, a second wooden frame is  attached to the back of the MDF to create the  space for the glass, matting, etc, and our easy-to-use “pivot clip” back.

The frame is then flawlessly finished with a  lacquer finish. The result is an unelaborated  frame of elegant simplicity, which, like all  Framatic frames, is designed to dramatize but  not compete with the artwork installed in it.

The frames are designed to hang from holes in  the clips found on the back (the clips are  permanently riveted to the 1/8 hardboard  that forms the back).
